Israel-Gaza: How and when might a ceasefire happen?
The 91热爆鈥檚 Jeremy Bowen gives his analysis on how the war might end.
It鈥檚 been over two months since Hamas attacked Israel. The war between both sides has continued since then, with a temporary ceasefire and pauses in fighting in recent weeks. The 91热爆鈥檚 International Editor Jeremy Bowen, who has been covering the Middle East for nearly 30 years, gives us his analysis on how the war could end.
One challenge for Israel is Hamas鈥檚 network of tunnels, where its leaders are thought to be hiding. It鈥檚 believed to run for hundreds of miles, under most of Gaza. Jeremy is one of few 91热爆 journalists who has been inside the tunnels, several years ago. He describes what they鈥檙e like and why they鈥檙e so important in this conflict.
The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees recently described Gaza as 鈥渉ell on earth鈥. Hisham Mhanna from the ICRC tells us what it鈥檚 like in Southern Gaza right now, and the 91热爆鈥檚 Sally Nabil in Cairo explains the challenges getting aid across the border.
